According to my .bash_history, the command was rpm -Uvh openafs-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.rpm openafs-client-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.rpm openafs-devel-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.rpm openafs-kernel-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.rpm op enafs-kernel-source-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.rpm openafs-server-1.2.1-24.7.1.1.i386.r pm > You can try running: > rpm --force -e openafs openafs-kernel openafs-client ... > > (where ... is all the other openafs RPMs that you have installed) rpm --force -e openafs openafs-kernel openafs-client openafs-devel openafs-kernel-source openafs-server Gave this error: rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced Actually I was able to reinstall openafs-1.2.1 from RPMs using --force, then uninstall them, and then reinstall them using -i and now it works. > I have no idea why you got that %preun error..

Sorry but I'm too much of a newbie to know what to make of this. How does the value of $1 in this script get set? Although it's working now I'd be interested in knowing so I have a better idea where to look myself if it happens again. > You might want to wait for the next release of OpenAFS (1.2.2). > Any idea when this may be, and what will be changed? We'd like to get this server into production fairly soon, but we'd like it to be stable, so if 1.2.2 is going to fix any serious bugs we might wait.
